[QUOTE="MoogleEmpMog, post: 1968002, member: 22882"] I don't think Troll Lord is doing anything the least bit unethical or immoral, certainly not illegal; I just find it personally exasperating. IMO, C&C is the GoBots to D&D's Transformers. :D I do have to clarify one thing, though: the OGL lets Troll Lord base rules of the d20 system (and as such, 3.x). It doesn't include the exact flavor of D&D, or anything from past editions. If Troll Lord were to actually release a copy of Basic D&D or 1e, they'd be outside their legal rights. They haven't. They've just tried to capture the flavor of those older editions, using rules based off the d20 system. If Troll Lord licensed [U]D&D[/U] (like Kenzer & Co. did, for example), it wouldn't bother me a bit. The inelegant rules still would, though. :p [/QUOTE]
